Siva Vaidhyanathan. "Copyright as Cudgel," Chronicle of Higher Education, Volume 47 (August 2, 2002): Number 47. Pages B7-B9. Since 1998 the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has threatened the fair use of digital material. Why haven't more academics joined the battle to reform it? Vaidhyanathan, a professor of information studies, offers an explanation and a call for change. (jv)

Virginia Valian. "Solving a Work Problem," Pages 99-110, in Mary Frank Fox, editor, Scholarly Writing and Publishing Westview, 1985.

Tom VanCourt. "Less Is Better, But It Still Isn't Good," Textbook Letter (September-October 200). Pages 15-16. VanCourt, a software engineering professor, follows up his reviews of earlier editions of Glencoe Pre-Algebra: An Integrated Transtion to Algebra and Geometry, and concludes, despite improvements, that the 2001 edition is unsuitable. Distracting, unworkable Internet activities and art have been exorcised, he says, but the book remains "a mad whirl of poorly connected topics." Some is ponderous, some dumbed-down, he says. "A manual of fuzz," he calls it.

W. Van Til Writing for Professional Publication, second edition. Allyn & Bacon, 1986.

Debra Viadero. "Online Research Journals Take Off," Education Week (December 10, 2003). Pages 1, 13. Viadero, a news reporter, examines the growing number online education research journals and concludes that there is growing respectability. By one count 100 journals either publish electronic alternatives or publish entirely online.

John Vivian. "Getting Students Excited About Their Textbooks," Community College Journalist, Volume 30 (Fall 2002), Issue 2. Pages 14-15. Vivian, a textbook author, shares ideas for avoiding a student disconnect with textbooks. His suggestions are directed at college instructors.
